[QUOTE="merc, post: 282892, member: 3495"] I think that the mimicing stories might be a good idea for her, especially the wizard school with a story like Harry Potter. Good adventure, strong evil character, but not much killing, and complicated enough so that she won't be bored. Thanks for the idea. :) She wants to play the actual game, and I think that she's ready to start learning the actual rules. She talked me into buying her a d20 of her own, and she'd know if I was trying to not let her use it ;) As for her being too young, I really don't think you'd know she was only six if you met her and she wasn't so short ;) She's got quite the attention span if she's into something (she really likes playing long games of Age of Empires) and she's been using the computer on her own for two years. It's just my first instinct in getting someone familiar with the rules would be to make characters and fight with them to get a feel about how different classes and stats and the more mechanics-wise things reflect on a character. I don't know if that's a good way to start her off though. [/QUOTE]
